Yes. It is the business's responsibility to notify the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the fact that they are no longer in business. The State Department of Assessments and Taxation will continue to assess the business with estimated assessments until they are made aware of the business closing in writing (they need the date of finality of when the business closed). It is the responsibility of the county to collect the taxes based on the assessment. Therefore, it is in the business's best interest to contact the State Department of Assessments and Taxation and let them know of the closure of the business. If they have estimated assessments, they should attempt to get them abated by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation.
If the business does not file a return with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation, the department will then estimate an assessment based on the type of business and the previous assessments. In some cases, the estimated assessment is double the previous year assessment.
In Maryland, there is a tax on business owned personal property that is imposed and collected by the local governments. To foster the uniform and consistent administration of this tax, responsibility for the assessment of all personal property throughout Maryland rests with a single state agency, the Department of Assessments and Taxation. Personal property generally includes furniture, fixtures, office and industrial equipment, machinery, tools, supplies, inventory, and any other property not classified as real property.

However, when the Council sits as the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Council members are functioning as a quasi-judicial board whose duty is to interpret the zoning law. In interpreting the zoning law, the Board may only consider the law and facts which are included in the record of the case. If a Council member has outside knowledge of a zoning case, the member may be obligated to refuse to participate in that zoning case. Also, the Harford County Charter, 706(b), prohibits an individual from influencing or attempting to influence, directly or indirectly, a member of the Board of Appeals in arriving at a decision in any pending zoning case.

The Historic Preservation Commission or HPC consists of seven volunteer members that are appointed by the County Executive. Each HPC member possesses a demonstrated interest, specific knowledge, or professional or academic training in the fields of history, architectural history, architecture, planning, archaeology, historic preservation, landscape architecture, urban design, or related disciplines. The HPC is staffed by the County's Historic Preservation Planner, who provides technical assistance and serves as a liaison between County departments and the HPC. The HPC recommends Harford County properties for inclusion on Historic Landmarks List, considers petitions for Landmark Historic Districts, reviews proposals for exterior alterations to designated County Historic Landmarks, and advises the County Executive on the protection, enhancement and perpetuation of historic resources that are significant in Harford County's historic and cultural heritage.
Yes, historic landmarks can be changed. The HPC has no authority over the use or interior of any historic landmark. The HPC does approve changes, including additions, provided that they are in keeping with the major character-defining exterior features that make the structure historically significant. Changes to the exterior or any undertaking that requires a building or demolition permit, from the Department of Inspections, Licenses, and Permits requires prior approval from the HPC through a Certificate of Appropriateness or COA. General, routine maintenance, that does not change the appearance of the historic landmark, does not need approval.
The basic principle is to retain and rehabilitate – rather than replace – the building's historic materials (especially windows, doors and siding) so that the building retains its physical integrity as a representative of itself and its time in history.
The details of COA applications will, of course, vary from landmark to landmark, but the HPC does try diligently to balance its responsibility for adhering to proper standards with accommodating the owners' preferences.
As in most jurisdictions throughout the United States and Maryland with local historic preservation programs, Harford County uses the publication issued by the National Park Service entitled The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Projects submitted for approval by the Historic Preservation Commission typically fall within the chapter of the publication dealing with "Standards for Rehabilitation." These are broadly worded guidelines that focus on rehabilitation and repair. All proposed work must follow these standards.
The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties are common sense historic preservation principles in non-technical language. They promote historic preservation best practices that will help to protect our nation's irreplaceable cultural resources. They are a series of concepts about maintaining, repairing, and replacing historic materials, as well as designing new additions or making alterations. The Standards offer four distinct approaches to the treatment of historic properties—preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and reconstruction with Guidelines for each.
Rehabilitation is defined as the act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. The Standards for Rehabilitation are common sense principles in non-technical language that focus on repair and rehabilitate – rather than replace – the building's historic materials. The Standards are:
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

For small functions of 100 (mingling) or 70 (seated) or when dancing is not part of the activities, the house and grounds only may be rented. However, the house has moderate size rooms which cannot accommodate everyone together. The house is not conducive to having wedding ceremonies inside for this reason.
Corporate meetings, cocktail, birthday and anniversary parties sometime utilize the house only. The many rooms in the house make excellent break out rooms for meetings or retreats. The back patio is often used for meetings in pleasant weather.
Eligible homeowners may reduce their property taxes by applying for a real property tax credit. A list of available credits can be found on the Real Property Tax Credit Information page.
Bills are mailed out July 1 with the base amount due by September 30. Beginning October 1 interest and penalties are added to the base bill amount.
The purpose of assessing interest and penalty is to encourage timely payment of taxes.
Usage bills: The County bills each customer for water and sewage usage on a quarterly basis. Each customer has 30 days for payment. After 30 days a 5% late fee is added to the bill as required by the County Code Section 256-19(A)(4). Service may be terminated if the bill remains unpaid. If service is terminated an additional fee of $50 will be added to the bill for turn-off / turn-on.
Water and Sewer Capital Charges: Depending on where the property is located in the County, a property served by the County's water and sewer system can have 1 or more annual assessments that are due on the property. Most annual assessments are mailed July 1 to the latest property owner of record. An additional 1.5% is added to the base bill for each month or portion of a month the assessment is past due. Should the assessment remain unpaid as of the third Monday in June, the property will be sold at the annual Tax Sale of the County. To determine the amount of any assessments on a property, you may view the amount due online at Property Bill Search or call the Water and Sewer Accounting Section at 410-638-3311. They will provide you with an explanation of the charges against your property and the length of time remaining for the assessment.

In addition to the tests performed at the treatment plant, 100 samples each month are analyzed from various areas of the County water distribution system and tested for bacteria, and chlorine residual. If any test is positive, a new sample is taken from the same area and re-tested. Positive findings must be reported to the Maryland Department of the Environment, and the public would be notified through the media. Harford County has never had a confirmed positive reading related to the water quality of the distribution system.
And periodic samples are taken throughout the distribution system to demonstrate compliance with the lead and copper rule and the disinfection byproducts rule.

If your meter is inside your home it will require our mechanics have access inside your home to exchange the meter requiring you to schedule an appointment. You will be notified of the need to contact us for scheduling. Someone at least 18 years old must be home during your installation appointment. In addition, consider the following:
The new meter will typically operate the same as the old meter. All water meters in Harford County have a wireless device that transmits the meter readings on a licensed radio frequency over a short distance to a handheld.
You may detect a slight increase in your water bill. As meters age, they tend to run slower and lose accuracy over time. The new meters record consumption more accurately.
Please call the Harford County Division of Water and Sewer Maintenance Department at 410-612-1612.
Please contact your trash collector for the pick up day of your address. Most residents will continue with the same collection day as previously. The residential trash collectors in Harford County are:

The Army's Steam Purchase Agreement for the Waste-to-Energy facility expires in March 2016. The Army has notified the county of its desire not to renew this agreement and to shut the facility down.
Disposal of the County's solid waste at the Harford Waste Disposal Center Landfill is not a sustainable solution. There is insufficient capacity remaining for the long-term.
Both of these facilities will cease operations on or around March 2016.
The other alternatives considered are listed on the Alternative Solutions Table with the associated operating and capital costs listed. It is important to note that there are other factors external of costs that were also considered, such as convenience and feasibility. Alternative Solutions Table
This alternative was strongly considered and was a viable option at the time due to the close proximity to I-95 and other major roadways, however the plans for the Baltimore facility have not yet come to fruition, and this no longer became a realistic option. Furthermore, considerations regarding long-term costs and the concerns of the community were also reasons for exploring additional options.
Future uses of the property will be studied over the next year. The long-term needs of the Department of Public Works will be considered, as will the public safety infrastructure needs of the nearby community.
Every feasible solid waste alternative resulted in increased disposal costs. The rate study will evaluate revenue mechanisms to fund the solid waste program and how those revenues will translate to disposal costs passed onto the customers. The new solid waste fee structure will be implemented to become effective when this new plan commences.

In contrast to real property, which is valued once every three years, personal property is valued every year for tax purposes. At the beginning of each calendar year, the Department of Assessments and Taxation mails a personal property return to all businesses on record.
Even if the business does not receive this return, it is still responsible for obtaining and filing one on time. All corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), limited liability partnerships (LLPs), and limited partnerships must file personal property returns with the Department of Assessments and Taxation.
Sole proprietorships and general partnerships must file. Not filing a return results in an estimated assessment and a possible delay in the issuance of a business license. If you are unsure whether you are required to file, please call the appropriate number listed below:
Corporations: 410-767-1170 LLCs and LLPs: 410-767-1170 Limited Partnerships: 410-767-1170 Sole Proprietors, General Partnerships: email@example.com
You can request an abatement three years from the time the assessment was certified by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. The county collects the taxes based on the assessment provided by them. Any adjustments or abatements would have to be requested through them.
The Department of the Treasury is responsible for stamping every deed before it can be recorded at the Harford County Courthouse, regardless if it is necessary for taxes to be paid. If the property has been flagged by the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation for Agricultural Transfer Tax, then the deed will need to be presented to the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation first for clearance, then presented to the Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Revenue Collections.
When recording a deed for a property in the municipalities of the county, it must be stamped by the appropriate municipality before presenting it to the Bureau of Revenue Collections. Municipalities can be contacted at:
City of Aberdeen: 410-272-2222 City of Havre de Grace: 410-939-1800 Town of Bel Air: 410-638-4555
Please contact the Bureau of Revenue Collections at 410-638-3269, Option 5. A lien certificate is required for the processing of any type of transfer of property in the county. There is a $50 fee for this document. Lien sheets applications can be found on the Certificate of Tax Lien page.
Other fees include:
Payment of outstanding taxes (real, personal, and/or water and sewer assessments)

Please contact the State Department of Assessments and Taxation at 410-836-4800 to determine if the property is used for agricultural purposes and could possibly require the repayment of agricultural taxes.
Please contact the department to whom the goods or services were delivered to ensure they have approved payment. If payment has been approved, then contact the Bureau of Accounting, Accounts Payable section at 410-638-3448.
The accounts payable supervisor can be reached at 410-638-3448.
The "piggyback tax" existed in Maryland for many years, when the county tax was expressed as a percentage of the state tax liability. With the income tax changes passed by the state legislature in 1998, the rates for all counties and the City of Baltimore were "decoupled" from the state rate. Each county and the City of Baltimore has its own tax rate as determined by the state legislature unless changed by the local legislative body.
The local income tax rate can be found at the state website. It is a flat rate against your entire taxable income that can change every year.
As established by the Annotated Code of Maryland and local County law, recordation taxes are assessed at the rate of $6.60 per $1,000 value of recorded instruments filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Harford County.
Of this assessed amount, $4.40 is dedicated for school debt service first, then new construction, major and capital improvements to existing school facilities and portable classrooms; $1.10 is dedicated to an open space land and recreational fund for the purchase of park lands and development of parks and recreation facilities; and $1.10 is dedicated for implementation of local watershed protection and restoration projects.
The voters of the county on a 1992 ballot question approved a transfer tax. County Council Bill No. 93-3 adopted the local transfer tax effective July 1, 1993. The transfer tax is imposed at the rate of 1 percent of the consideration payable for instruments of writing recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Harford County or filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. The proceeds of the tax are distributed 50 percent to agricultural land preservation and 50 percent to school site acquisitions, school construction, or school debt.
Yes. If you wish to make a one-time payment in advance of the tax year, the county will calculate your taxes using the current tax rate in effect applied to the prior year assessment. No interest will be credited to your payment. If the taxes due on the property for the year of payment made exceeds the amount paid, a balance due letter will be sent to the taxpayer.
Eligible homeowners may reduce their property taxes by applying for a real property tax credit. A list of available credits can be found on the Real Property Tax Credit Information page.
Yes. As part of our commitment to provide citizens with efficient, convenient services, Harford County has partnered with Official Payment Corporation, a third-party provider to offer electronic payments over the Internet or by telephone. The third-party provider will assess a convenience fee each time you use their service to make tax and assessment payments by credit/debit card. Harford County accepts Visa® , MasterCard® and Discover® credit cards and electronic checks. If paying by credit/debit card, there will be a 2.25% convenience fee. If paying by electronic check, there is no fee.
Yes. State law provides that all real property is subject to a property tax. You will receive a property tax bill each year. The property owner is responsible for payment of property taxes.
The county mails the property tax bill to the owner of record on the tax roll. The tax roll is prepared from the assessment roll that is maintained by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. About June 1 each year, the State Department of Assessments and Taxation prepares the information on the assessment roll to be used by the county to create the tax roll.
The assessment roll contains the name and address of the owner of record; brief description of the property, and the value and assessment of the property.
Under the law it is assumed that delivery of the bill is made unless it is returned to the county by the Postal Service. If you did not receive a property tax bill, you may review the amount due online at Property Bill Search or contact the Bureau of Revenue Collections at 410-638-3269 for a copy of your bill.
Under current State law all residential property that is owner occupied can make payment of property taxes on a semiannual basis. As an individual, however, you may elect to pay the total amount due. If you have a mortgage company or other escrow account holder for your property taxes, you can request that they make payment on an annual basis.
If you are paying your taxes directly, all you need to do is to make payment of the full annual amount as provided on your tax bill by September 30. If your mortgage holder pays your taxes from an escrow account, you must notify them of your choice.
State law requires mortgage holders to pay on a semiannual basis unless otherwise directed by the property owner.
Customers of the county's water and sewer system may have two types of bills. One is a quarterly bill for usage, generally based on the amount of water used by the property. Usage bills pay the cost of the daily operation and maintenance of the water and sewer system in the county and are increased annually by the CPI. The other type of bill is for capital charges, which vary from property to property depending on the time period of connection and location in the county. These charges are used to pay for the cost of construction transmission facilities, pumping stations, water booster stations, storage facilities, treatment facilities, etc.
Usage bills: The county bills each customer for water and sewage use on a quarterly basis. Each customer has 30 days for payment. After 30 days a 5% late fee is added to the bill as required by the County Code Section 256-19(A)(4). Service may be terminated if the bill remains unpaid. If service is terminated an additional fee of $50 will be added to the bill for turn-off/turn-on.
Water and sewer capital charges: Depending on where the property is in the county, a property served by the county's water and sewer system can have one or more annual assessments due on the property. Most annual assessments are mailed July 1 to the latest property owner of record. An additional 1.5% is added to the base bill for each month or portion of a month the assessment is past due. Should the assessment remain unpaid as of the third Monday in June, the property will be sold at the annual tax sale of the county. To determine the amount of any assessments on a property, you may view the amount due online at Property Bill Search or call the Water and Sewer Accounting Section at 410-638-3311. They will provide you with an explanation of the charges against your property and the length of time remaining for the assessment.
Property tax bills are mailed to taxpayers on July 1. As discussed in a previous question, the owner of the property has until September 30 to pay the bill without incurring additional costs. As of October 1, interest is added to the bill for any portion of that month at a current rate of 1.5% on the county portion and 1% on the state portion for each month that payment is not made. Also, on October 1 a one-time 6% penalty is assessed on the county property tax portion. At the end of February of each year, a delinquent notice is mailed to the owner of the property if any amount of taxes are still unpaid. Beginning April 1, additional charges are added to the property tax bill for the cost of preparing the property for tax sale.
If the taxes are not paid by April 1, the property will be advertised for tax sale in the local newspaper twice during the month of April. If they remain unpaid as of May 1, additional charges are added to the bill for the costs of the tax sale.
The property is advertised a total of four more times during the months of May and June in preparation for the tax sale that occurs online the third Monday in June each year.
For more information, please view our
The current rate is 12% on the amount paid the day of tax sale by the purchaser.
Bills are mailed out July 1 with the base amount due by September 30. Beginning October 1 interest and penalties are added to the base bill amount.

Call or visit the Department of Public Works New Accounts Section, 3334 Abingdon Road, Abingdon, MD 21009, 410-638-3300.
They will tell you if your property is in an area where public water and/or sewer is available. If service is available they can provide you with a cost to connect to the county's system. The charges for this are paid at the Water and Sewer Accounting Section, first floor of 220 S. Main Street in Bel Air.
Meters are read and billed on a quarterly basis. Water and sewer bills are due 30 days from the date of issue. A penalty is applied to payments received after the due date. Rate schedules are available by calling the Water and Sewer Accounting office at 410-638-3311.
Water and sewer bills are pro-rated the same as real estate property tax bills by the settlement officer at time of settlement. Check your settlement sheet you received at that time. You should have been given money from the seller to pay for the water and sewer usage during the period the seller owned the property.
Water and sewer bills not paid on time are subject to penalty charges, possible termination of service and possible sale of the property at property tax sale. Unpaid water and sewer charges are a lien against the property.
The charge is levied on all properties that connect to the county's water and/or sewer system. It lasts for 25 years. The money is used to pay for modification of the water and sewer system and for any debt service that may arise as a result of these modifications.

The 15th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival-Images of the 21st Century (March 15-24) and its concurrent Doc Film Market drew to a close with a series of awards.
Audience and Fipresci are the principal prizes at the non-competitive event.
Blood Brother by Steve Hoover (US) and The High Price of Gold by Ross Domoney (Congo/UK) received the audience awards in the international programme.
Blood Brother centres on a young American who moved to India to take care of Aids-infected children. It previously won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at this year's Sundance.
Preferred Content handles sales of the film, which was made by US production company Animal.
The High Price of Gold deals with the violations suffered by female workers at the gold mines in the East Democratic Republic of Congo. It was produced by the UK's Aletheia Photos in collaboration with Met Film School.
In the Greek selection the audience awards went to The Grocer by Dimitris Koutsabasiakos and A Heritage, In Deep Agony by Kyriaki Malama.
The Grocer is a road movie that follows a travelling grocer who serves the inhabitants of remote mountain villages in northern Greece. World sales are handled by KinoLab.
A Heritage: In Deep Agony deals with the forced expatriation by the Turks in 1920 of Greeks living in the Black Sea area. World sales are handled by Greece's ET3.
The Fipresci awards went to Parts of a Family by Mexico's Diego Gutierrez and They Glow in the Dark by Greece's Panayotis Evangelidis, which follows two Aids-infected gay men living in post-Katrina New Orleans.They are sold respectively by Deckert Distribution (Germany) and Rendezvous Pictures (France).
- See below for other awards
The festival, under the artistic direction of founder Dimitri Eipides, featured 200 titles across ten sections offering an ample panorama of social and political documentaries from around the world.
Tight budgets
The event was held on a small budget as a result of the ongoing Greek financial crisis. Subsidies from the almost extinct local ministry of culture are drying up. Funding came from private sponsors: the EU's NRDF scheme and the MEDIA programme.
The programme, organization, workshops and masterclasses were well received despite the low budget.
Titles that stood out in the international selection included Kirby Dick's The Invisible War (US), which deals with violations of women soldiers in the US army.
On a similar subject in Pakistan, Habiba Nosheen and Hilke Schellmann presented Outlawed in Pakistan (Pakistan-US).
Celebrated British director Kim Longinotto was back with Selma, another portrait in her series of womens' conditions in the third world.
Family relations proved another hot topic and were seen in Uruguayan film The Flowers of my Family by Juan Ignacio Fernandez as well as Private Universe by the renowned Chech film-maker Helen Trestikova.
Greek films premiered at the event hit a record number of no less than 58 titles, dealing with local topics such as illegal immigrants, environment degradation and the social situation in the debt-ridden country.
Guzman tribute
The main tribute of the event was dedicated to the celebrated Chilean documentary master Patricio Guzman.
The homage, curated by Dimitris Kerkinos, included all his films from the emblematic The Battle of Chile (1972-79) down to Nostalgia for the Light hailed at Cannes 2010.
A special volume on his work was published on the occasion and a round table event was organized on the subject "From The Battle of Chile to Europe in Crisis: Mistakes, Precepts and Hopes".
Guzman participated through a TV link from Paris as just days before the start of the festival he suffered an accident that forced him to cancel his presence at the event.

Andy Warhol is not only famous for screenprinting in a repetative manner, but also for his illustrations and advertisements early in his career. He discovered a blotted line technique where he would draw with wet ink and before it dried, lay a piece of paper on top of the wet print and pulling a textured line print. He enjoyed how it wasn't perfectly uniform and produced a unique result.
I have a previous post on this: http://artasticartists.blogspot.com/2011/02/fabulous-flowers-with-andy-warhol-and.html
I first drew a reproduction of Andy's cat and soup can that was very simplified. Then made copies. The key to pulling these prints is having watered down ink/paint, working quickly, and using just the tip of the bristles of a plastic bristled brush. Work fast or it might dry on you. We talked about this and what to do if it does. Put a plexi glass plate on the top of the photocopy. Have a piece of construction paper or white drawing paper with your name on the back handy. After tracing over with wet ink, quickly lay the paper on top. Rub the back then pull away from the plate to pull your print. After pulling the print, I told students they could look at Andy's prints for inspiration or simply create a new design!

Just purchased super magnum 870, and I'd like to make sure it is as handy as possible for home defense. Bought this due to recommendations from friends re: dependability, versatility, etc. I gather the first modification should be barrel length. I thought that would be an easy change, but I understand I must choose rifled or smooth bore, bead or rifle sights and so on. I plan to fill it with 2 rounds of shot (00?), and the rest slugs, ala recommendations from officers I know. Your advice is appreciated. Happy holidays.

Hi Jeff,
I would suggest that you do indeed get a shorter barrel. I would further suggest that it be a smoothbore one. If you feel like spending the money, Ghost Ring sights are nice, but for home defense, a bead will do.
Now for you load selections. In a patrol car, that 2-OO, 3-slug sounds fine, but for home defense it might be a bit much.
Many of us choose to load down at home, to #2 #4 or even #6 shot, for several reasons. I'll list a few main ones for my personally:
1. Effective range: The #2/4 buckshot will be effective inside your home, whereas it might not be as much so against humans at ranges that could be encountered by LEOs in an outdoor scenario.
2. Stopping effectiveness: 00 Buckshot and especially slugs will likely go right through someone at in-house ranges. I am a believer in the 100% transfer of energy theory, ie- that a bullet should stay in a body and not take any enrgy out the backside. I also subscribe to the "overload the nervous system" theory of what makes people stop. While a slug could well break the structure of a person, it requires relative accuracy to be effective. Meanwhile, a blast from #4 buck at close range is going to create the mother of all wound cavities (permanent and temporary) which is incredibly likely to stop your attacker, even without a perfect shot.
3. Overpenetration: This is especially important to those of us with kids or who live in apartment building or duplex. That Slug could easily travel through several rooms inside a house and even the outer walls and into the street or other homes. Similarly, the 00 buck will have no problem blasting through an interior wall (or two).
Suggestion: get a shorter barrel (and while you are at it, you could probably stand to lose an inch or so of the stock)with a cylinder or IC choke and a bead site. Before you head to the range, take some measurements in your home, look at the likely ranges you would be using the weapon at. Seriously, if you live in a 750 square foot house, why shoot at more than 12-15 feet?? Then play around with different loads at different ranges.
Fire slugs, 00, #4 (buck) and #6 at varying thicknesses of plywood (or drywall, if you can get some pieces) at the appropriate ranges to get an idea of the kind of penetration you are dealing with.
You might end up going with your original thought, youmight decide that #6 shot is plenty.
In the end, some ascending combination might still appeal to you, but you might start with birdshot instead of 00 buck.
Good Luck

I spend a lot of time watching TV/films, reading books and looking around the internet... I save loads of photos I find interesting from all kinds of different places. I then flick through them, and try to think about how ideas link together, and mock up roughs in photoshop. I like combining different elements of photos of people with abstract sections of old paintings I've done. Once I've got an idea of what I want to do, I try and figure out how to paint it... sometimes the final piece looks a lot like the rough, sometimes it changes drastically while I'm painting it. When I'm painting, I just switch back and forth between paint, drawing, collage or anything lying around.
I normally describe what I do as mixed media painting... the idea is to get different kinds of marks to work off of each other - so sometimes I'll paint/draw fairly accurately, then work quite loosely on a section, then break up elements of print on another section. At the moment I think a lot of the painting I do is too tight, it should really be looser and more expressive.
I've lived in Bristol all my life... sometimes I'm tempted to move to London or abroad, but I'm happy here for now.
It's really compact... there's a lot of different bars/clubs within walking distance, which I appreciate a lot more now having been to LA a few times. The people are pretty cool. There's a lot of old Georgian buildings which I really like too, I'm moving here in the next few weeks.
I'd rely on my friends to come up with interesting things to do, because I've been working a lot lately so I'm pretty boring right now (or, always)... it'd probably involve getting very drunk and going to a club to see a genre of music that ends in 'core'.
Lost season 4, going to All Tomorrow's Parties to see Portishead and various other people, and hopefully having a bit more time to work on some paintings for a show next year... there's some ideas that I'd really like to get down on canvas.
Usually at night, although my schedule's pretty random... I do artwork pretty much every day, but it can be anything from less than an hour to about 10 hours.
Probably Barcelona, although I really like London sometimes
The last few weeks I've been listening to Scout Niblett, Crippled Black Phoenix, Health, Japanther, Thurston Moore, White Rabbits, Radiohead's new album, the Inland Empire soundtrack and a weird album of Reiko Ike's.
Awkward & geeky, with bad hair. The bad hair continued long into my 20s until I just got fed up and shaved it off.

More than two years year after the housing market tanked and the foreclosure rate began rising, the ongoing wave of distressed home sales is weighing on house prices and crimping a long-awaited economic recovery.
On Wednesday, President Obama signed off on the government's latest response to the crisis, a whittled-down bill aimed at helping millions of struggling borrowers keep their homes. But the latest effort may not be strong enough to reverse the downward spiral that has gripped the housing market and the economy.
After months of debate, the final version of the latest bill eliminated a key provision that would have allowed bankruptcy judges to modify mortgage terms. Faced with heavy pressure from the banking industry, Congress again tabled the highly contentious provision after several attempts to introduce it over the past year. That leaves the decision to refinance a mortgage up to lenders and investors holding securities backed by those loans.
Meanwhile, homeowners stuck with unaffordable payments, or who now owe more than their house is worth, must slog through the red tape of negotiating a new loan with their lender.
Courtney Scott, 60, a retired nurse living in Atlanta, has been trying for over a year to get her loan modified.
"This has just been round and round," she said. "Every time we do what they say they need us to do, something happens where we need to resubmit it or they say there's a backlog and it's going to take more time."
That backlog is growing as the pace of foreclosures rise. They're up 32 percent in April from a year ago, according to the real estate data firm RealtyTrac. Some 2.4 million new home foreclosures are expected this year, according to the Center on Responsible Lending. Nearly one in five homeowners is already "underwater" — owing more on their mortgage than their home is worth, according Moody's. While pace of job losses has begun to slow, unemployment is still headed higher.
"You mix all of that together, and the foreclosure problem is getting worse not better," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com. "We're counting on the president's loan modification plan to really kick in here. But it hasn't yet, and we need to see it."
Meanwhile, the rise in foreclosures is tearing a hole in the household budgets of those that lose their homes and those who live next door. As homes are sold off at distressed prices, the value of neighboring homes also drops.
Though home sales have perked up this spring, in some markets as many as half of those are distressed sales to new home buyers and investors looking for bargains.
"We need the foreclosure supply to start slowing down," said Susan Wachter, a real estate professor at the Wharton School of Business. "As we get more homes through the foreclosure process, housing prices continue to fall."
The government's foreclosure relief effort is beginning to show signs of progress. The Making Home Affordable program, for example, gives cash incentives to lenders who provide foreclosure relief. In the first two months, some 55,000 homeowners were offered more affordable terms, according to the Treasury.
"We're encouraged but we are not by any stretch convinced," said John Taylor, president of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, which has been working with Congress on various foreclosure relief proposals.
Since the foreclosure rate began rising in the middle of 2006, the government has made several attempts to slow the ongoing erosion of homeownership. In October 2007, the Bush administration launched the Hope Now Alliance, a public-private partnership designed to encourage lenders to rewrite loan terms to make payments more affordable.
Though the group says nearly a million mortgages were reworked, many of those "workouts" simply added missed payments to the outstanding principal, raised the monthly payment and made the new loan even less afforadble. As a result, more than half of homeowners who got help defaulted on their new loans in less than a year.
The latest effort centers on providing incentives to loan servicers — the companies who collect payments from homeowners on behalf of investors who jointly own the mortgage — to provide more affordable terms. The Making Home Affordable program, for example, offers incentives to lenders who lower monthly payments by either reducing the interest rate or stretching out the term to 40 years. The program applies to loans issued or sold to investors through Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae and the Treasury estimates it could help as many as five million homeowners.
The latest foreclosure bill expands on that effort and provides further help for lenders who offer troubled homeowners more affordable loans. One key provision protects servicers from lawsuits by investors holding bonds backed by loans that are modified. In many cases, lower mortgage payments bring lower returns for those investors; servicers say that has stymied past efforts to modify loans.
Another provision overhauls the Hope for Homeowners program. Introduced last summer, the program was intended to help some 400,000 borrowers. But high fees and tight credit left all but a handful of homeowners with new loans and lower monthly payments.
Foreclosure relief efforts have also been hampered as servicing companies have been overwhelmed by calls from homeowners seeking help. Originally hired to collect payments and forward them to investors, servicers say they aren't set up to handle the historic wave of defaults created by the housing market collapse. Cash incentives for loan modifications are designed to help defray those costs. But many servicers remain badly understaffed.
"You talk to a machine, talk to someone in a foreign country," said Taylor. "More often than not you never get the same person. So you're constantly starting from scratch. I do think there is an industry infrastructure problem."
Scott's attempt to modify her loan typifies the process. When she bought her Atlanta-area home two years ago, she applied for an FHA mortgage through a state-sponsored program. Bank of America approved her application for a $65,000 loan — about half the home's current value — but the payments are consuming nearly 70 percent of her fixed income, she said.
After contacting the bank in March, 2008, she was told there was nothing the bank could do until she was behind in her payments, she said. So she stopped paying. After she recently began working with a HUD-approved credit counselor, she said the bank told her she had to make up two of those missed payments before they would talk to her. Two months ago, the counselor helped Scott apply for a loan modification, but the bank has not yet assigned someone to her case.
"They lost the paper work and asked that it be resubmitted," she said. "So then we had to start from scratch, resubmitting all the documents."
A Bank of America representative said the company does not comment on individual customers' financial details but that it is reviewing Scott's case.
Like other lenders who are participating in the government foreclosure relief programs, Bank of American also faces a hurdle when it tries to modify loans that aren't held in its portfolio or were packaged and sold to investors outside of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Because those mortgages were pooled and sold off to hundreds of investors — each of which have varying financial interests in the loan pool — modifying those mortgages means getting those investors to sign off on the loan. Loan servicers say they've been hampered in their efforts to provide more affordable terms because of the threat of lawsuits from investors who might get a lower return on the new loan.
To help break that logjam, the foreclosure relief bill includes a so-called "safe harbor" provision that would shield lenders and servicers from lawsuits if they follow government guidelines when modifying loans.

Robin Thicke & Pharrell Williams Joined By Miley Cyrus & Leah LaBelle For "Blurred Lines": Watch
Yesterday a photo surfaced of comeback queen Miley Cyrus and American Idol Season 3 alum Leah LaBelle (sure, why not?) joining Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams on stage for a little ass-shaking to "Blurred Lines." The full performance, which took place during Wednesday night's (June 12) MySpace party in Los Angeles, aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and we can now assess the following: 1.) Robin Thicke sweats…a lot, 2.) Pharrell just might be King Of Summer 2013, between "Blurred Lines" currently being #1 on the Hot 100 and "Get Lucky" being #3, and 3.) Miley, with her gum-chewing whenever and wherever the eff she wants, black jacket and blond pompadour, is suddenly reminding us of Madonna circa Desperately Seeking Susan and Who's That Girl.

Attribute tables in ArcGIS are not nearly as easily editable in comparison to something like Excel.
For example, you have sorted the table based on some column value, and now want to fill in the column beside it with 2,4,6,8... etc. descending. In Excel this is extremely easy - just start the pattern, highlight it and drag down. Done.
If I wanted to do something like this natively in ArcGIS, from what I know of ArcGIS, python scripting is required.
Of course I could also look at the table through Access/Excel/some spreadsheet, and do the operation from there much easier, save it, and open it back up in ArcGIS.
However, ESRI does not officially recommend such tricks.
Really, it would just be great if attribute tables in ArcGIS (and all GIS for that matter) had the same type of editability as Excel, but I'm sure there are many spatial database issues with even beginning to think about implementing such a concept.
So is the "best practice" for filling in patterns into tables really using python scripting?
I can write python scripts, but have a harder time managing what I've done in the past (maybe I just need to get better at storing "common" scripts?).
Or is there officially recommended ways that avoid scripting by using tools/extensions in ArcGIS, or some other software?

Spot or Not: Macdonald's Gap
Is there anything that could make winching better? Why yes, proximity to a tasty Big Mac, that's what! And this gap has that and more. Located in a Dallas suburb, the Macdonald's Gap, as the name implies, is conveniently next to the golden arches. And while it might seem like that would inspire a bust-ridden spot, it's quite the opposite. In fact, you can spend all day here and not be bothered (unless curious look by passing joggers bother you.)
The gap itself is a basic drop, about 5 feet tall, depending on the recent rain fall, and has no shortage of run up and landing. This spot, like so many in Dallas was spotted by Clint Tompkins. "It's one of my favorite spots for sure," Clint said. "It's nice and safe, perfect depth landing and nice take off. It would be tough to build one better."
Since it's a manageable size, a bunch of tricks have gone down here and many of them can be seen in the Fun Boots! and AquaFrolics. Clint has landed a kickflip, back big, front big and switch front big. Nick Taylor can be seen doing a back big and back 360, and Andrew Pastura was the first to frontside flip the gap.
If you're in Texas, the Macdonald's gap is not one to miss, so dial up Google Earth and look for those unmistakable golden arches to lead your way!
Check out the Macdonald's Gap in action in this video.
